Building GNU automake 1.16.1

I start with the same considerations from the post Building autoconf 2.69. The GNU automake library is sometimes used on GNU buildings so I add it to my crazy list of GNU software to manually build.

NOTE

On this post I'm using the lastest GNU automake verion at the time of this writing. But sometimes one particular version simply doesn't work. For instance, version 1.16 fails building, but version 1.16.1 succeeds.

The basic building strategy and general assumptions have been detailed on a previous post: Staged Building, so I'll (hopefully) get more straight to the point:

$ pwd
/stage/build

$ ./gnu-build-preparation ../source/.../automake-1.16.1.tar.xz
...

$ cd automake/automake-1.16.1-64

$ source ../setenv 64

CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/bash

CC=/usr/bin/gcc CFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2 -std=gnu89

CXX=/usr/bin/g++ CXXFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2 -std=gnu++03

LD=/usr/bin/ld LDFLAGS=-m64 -march=core2

PATH=/opt/gnu/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=

Suggested build sequence:

Fine-tune/fix config.h.in, Makefile.in and others...

$ ./configure \
  --build=x86_64-pc-solaris2.11 \
  --prefix=/opt/... \
  ...

$ gmake -j3

For IPS package:

$ sudo gmake DESTDIR=/stage/prototype/automake/1.16.1/64 install

For immediate use:

$ sudo gmake install
$ sudo snapshot -r .../opt/...@automake-1.16.1

Building GNU m4 1.4.18

I start with the same considerations from the post Building GNU libtool 2.4.6. The GNU m4 library is sometimes used on GNU buildings so I add it to my crazy list of GNU software to manually build.

Building GNU libsigsegv 2.12

In a crazy effort to gather an ever growing set of up-to-date GNU tools and utilities built my myself I proceed little by little on each GNU software, getting its source code and attempting the build. At first I'm concerned in just successfully building the software. But I'll try to figure out how to reference the new artifacts in a sort of side-by-side installation that could co-exist with the standard Solaris packages without mixing stuffs.

The GNU libsigsegv library is sometimes used on GNU buildings so I add it to my crazy list of GNU software to manually build. For now, it seems that later on I would have to adjust my GNU m4 macros in order to take into account this new libsigsegv version. Fortunately, later on when I build an updated version of GNU m4 I'll have the option (--with-libsigsegv-prefix) to automatically do that.

The basic building strategy and general assumptions have been detailed on a previous post: Staged Building, so I'll (hopefully) get more straight to the point:
